Kevin O’Leary agrees to downsize massive Utah data center
Kevin O’Leary agreed to reduce his planned 40,000-acre data center in Utah by nearly half, removing 19,430 acres from the Locomotive Springs Waterfowl Management Area. The decision follows pressure from residents and activists, as well as a request from Utah Senate President J. Stuart Adams to cut the project size by 75 percent and implement water-saving technology.
